It's probably a 5:2 fast—five days of intermittent fasting and two days of 500-600 calories [1].

On the fasting days, it could be 16 hours of fasting and an 8-hour feeding window (16:8 in the fasting lingo).

If they are doing intermittent fasting, then why do they have to "reintroduce" foods during the 10 day feeding window, when they've been eating food every day?
These are probably foods that weren't allowed during the eating windows.
